I'm Stephanie L. and I'm short, fun, and a lovable person. I love to laugh and talk to my friends and family, who are basically my life. I am 16 and driving! I work at McDonalds every weekend. I'm a Junior at Greencastle Antrim High. I don't normally read but I have to say that Ellen Hopkins is my favorite writer. My favorite things to do in my spare time are writing creative stories, drawing, and cooking. I was born in raised in a country type life style. Obviously I listen to country music. My all time favorite singer is Jason Aldean. I will listen to his music from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed at night. Along with my country background, I love hunting, fishing, and walking in the woods. I do my best thinking when walking around outdoors. Alot of my wrtings come from past experiences with my grandfather. He passed away when I was 7 and had a big impact on my life. My drawings always consist of trees, streams, flowers, and animals. I've been drawing them ever since my grandfather's funeral, I drew a picture of autumn trees surrounding a bridge over a stream while in the middle, my grandfather and I sat. He's my grandfather, my best friend, my hero, my angel. Someone else I look up to is my 18 year old brother. He has been diagnosed with Adult Onset Stills Disease this past summer. It is a very rare disease and we were worried for a while about his liver shutting down. He continues to take about 7 medications a day and a daily shot. This past week we found out that he has nerve damage and numbness in his forearms. We hope and pray for him to live a long and healthy life and not to take a turn for the worse. You can read more imformation about his disease at the link below. Although my brother is currently limited to lifting, running, or any hard physical activities, he still wants to pursue a career in Diesel Mechanics. After his senior year he will proceed his schooling at UTI (Universal Technical Institute).

Cancer and Diseases have had a huge impact on my family. My grandmother is a level 5 breast cancer survivor and my grandfather passed away from cancer of the esophogus. Since my brother's disease I have been more aware about these types of issues and I would like to do more to help others suffering from these and other illnesses. I have put my time and effort into the Chambersburg Hospital as a volunteer for 3 years before Istarted my job at McDonalds. I went to a daily class for a week for training to be a Volunteer Patient Assistant. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone. Volunteering helped open my eyes to what I want to major in later in life. I'm determined to go to college for forensic pathology and criminal law. I'm looking at several schools but have not picked the specific one yet. Sometimes we put our selves down and don't realize that anything is possible. I'm not one to think that I'm the best I can be and I feel as though I don't put forth enough effort. Although I think that maybe the reasoning behind that is I'm trying for the wrong motives. I try to do my best just for my parents and grandparents and not for myself. If you are not doing it for yourself than there is no point in trying at all or you will find yourself left in disappointment. Wel,l I believe that sums it up about me and my values. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to follow the link 'My Comments' and I will get back to you momentarily. Thank you!
